If the eyes are the window to the soul the face is the semblance of our entire being. Others gaze upon our facial features and perceive not only beauty, harmony and symmetry but also seek to connect with us, to know us and who we are inside. After extensive training in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Newman has spent the last 16 years in his private practice perfecting the craft of facial cosmetic surgical care and customizes care for each individual patient. The resultant plan is a synthesis of patient desires, the patient’s anatomy and the doctor’s wisdom and expertise. Contact Us

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

The most visible signs of aging first appear on the face. The effects of time usually manifest as skin laxity and wrinkling and a facelift can help to lift lax skin and diminish wrinkles in certain locations. These signs of aging occur gradually on the face and usually patients seek consultation when they look in the mirror one day and don’t feel that the face they see reflects how they feel about themselves. Facelift surgery can help with joweling, neck and cheek laxity and can be combined with resurfacing procedures like laser treatment for a more complete and a more long lasting effect. Patients are often fearful of having a facelift because of the unwanted “overpulled” or “pleated” appearance they see in some patients. Dr. Newman performs a deep lift, which distributes the tension to avoid these unnatural appearances. Though facelifts generally take two to three hours to perform healing is rapid with generally minimal bruising and swelling which decreases by the third day. Patients can shampoo their hair in three days, wear makeup by the fifth day and do light exercise like long walks by ten days.

Browlift (Forehead Lift)

Browlift procedures can diminish some of the most visible signs of aging including drooping eyelids and eyebrows and furrowing of the forehead as well as other wrinkles about the eyes and brow. During a browlift excess skin is repositioned or removed and the muscles that retain the drooping brow and cause wrinkling are safely removed. The result is a more youthful and rested appearance. Patients who are good candidates for a browlift often tell us that their children or grandchildren tell them that they appear angry or stern. Browlift procedures can be performed in conjunction with facelift, eyelid and skin wrinkle resurfacing techniques. Dr. Newman performs several different variations of the browlift. It’s especially important to not leave any visual tip-offs that surgery has been performed. In the case of brow lifting it’s important that the correct procedure is used to avoid any movement of the hair or hairline so that patients can retain their youthful appearance.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

The eyes reveal much of what a person feels. They communicate emotions, and let others know you are bright, energetic and well rested. The appearance of puffy, drooping eyelids with dark circles can make others feel you are fatigued, unhappy or even angry. Eyelid procedures can remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower lids, tighten skin and lessen the dark circles. The result is an alert and more rested appearance. Remember that eyelid surgery should be performed meticulously and conservatively to avoid problems after surgery. That’s important to understand because superlative results can be achieved with conservative surgery only. Dr. Newman performs many variations of eyelid surgery: after a thorough interview with the patient and an examination the appropriate procedure is recommended. Healing is quick, usually within one week patients return to work and can perform most activities. Please feel free to schedule a consultation at our Murrieta/Temecula office.

Nasal Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)

Patients often seek consultation to reduce the size and enhance the shape of their nose. Dr. Newman’s approach to nasal surgery involves making a careful and complete checklist of patient wishes for their desired nasal shape and after a thorough examination arriving at the best alternatives for implementing the desired changes. Dr. Newman strives for a more natural nasal appearance and one that fits the rest of the facial features. Healing from rhinoplasty varies because of the many different techniques used. Usually splints are removed in one week and patients can perform most of their usual activities with the exception of exercise. Exercise can be resumed usually within two to three weeks. Bruising lasts typically for one to two weeks and can be covered with make-up after several days. Please feel free to schedule a consultation at our Murrieta/Temecula office.
